Billboards with a call to support Zelensky with prayer appear in Ukraine

A billboard featuring Volodymyr Zelensky.

In Ukraine, billboards with religious content featuring Volodymyr Zelensky have appeared. A photo of such a billboard taken in the village of Sudylkiv in the Khmelnytskyi region was posted on Facebook "Incredible Ukraine". 

The billboard features a photo of Zelensky, a heart in the colors of the national flag, and the inscription: "A strong country is when its leader is supported by prayer."

As the UOJ found out, the billboard is located in the center of the settlement on the Alley of Glory "Our Heroes", where portraits of fallen soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are installed.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that during his inaugural speech, Zelensky demanded that officials forget about the practice of hanging their portraits in offices, arguing that "the president is not an icon".
